The four sons of ratnAkara tripAThI, a kAnyukubja brAhmaNa, were all major contributors to the literature in NIA languages. They were in order (Bodhi is that right?)
chintAmaNi
bhuShaNa
matirAma
nilakaNTha.
I am not familiar with the theoretical treatises on hindi poetics of chintAmaNi though I have seen matirAma's erotic verses being cited.
shivarAja bhUShaNa appears to be again a manual rather than a poem itself. It is like say in the tradition of daNdin's kAvya darsha in saMskR^ita or more so a work of jayadeva that I forget. It appears that bhUShaNa is intending to illustrate types of brajabhASha alamkAra using incidents from the Chatrapati's life as examples. Bodhi is that correct? Clearly he is a poet embodying the Hindu consciousness of the age.
His brother's erotic poems seem to mention the chAlukya (solAnki) rAja shambhunAtha siMha rather than the Mogol.
